Chapter 3: The Darklake

Spending Inspiration to not let Cemos down.

Dustin's bolt streaks out, sticking into the creature's gut, spilling a gout of blood across the deck.

Bildaweer's missiles slam into the creature.

Stool takes his slashes at the beast as the rest of the company tries to keep the boat out of the whirlpool. Their efforts are rewarded as they oar the boat properly and shoot off the vortex's grasp to sail clear of the spinning water.
